- Before you do your final checkout when making a purchase online, be sure to look for a coupon code for savings on price and shipping. A really easy way to do this is to go to a search engine, like Google.com, and enter in the name of the online retailer followed by "coupon". You'll see results for various coupon codes that you can use to possibly save a little, or a lot of money.

- There is also a site called RetailMeNot.com which allows you to enter in almost any retailer you can think of and see various coupon codes you can use. People can rate these codes so you'll have a better idea if they actually work. If they don't work, no big deal, just try another. CouponSurfers.com also allows you to select a store and view any available coupon codes as does CouponCabin.com
